4-4-2:

Gigio; Abate, Musacchio, Romagnoli, RR; Suso, Kessie, Biglia, Jack; Cutrone, Higuain.

Maybe Hakan, Laxalt or Castillejo for Jack either to start or coming on later on, and either Calabria or Abate is ok.

4-2 victory please. I have no conviction in my prediction but one has to keep hope alive, so it is more of a prayer rather than a guess.

Forza Gattuso. Forza Milan!

^thanks for posting that. I always enjoy those match preview thingies.
Kessie and Hakan still out eh. Jack in the middle is not going to be good but better than the alternatives.

I like Laxalt on the left side of midfield.

Unfortunately we have no other options. Better Jack than Mauri, Bertolacci or Bakayoko.

Only thing keeping me optimistic is Higuain and Cutrone upfront. Higuain seems to be dying for a partner upfront. He has linked up beautifully with Cutrone when played together upfront and there was a neat one two with Castillejo against Betis towards the end. He could be deadly as part of a duo.

Maybe Berlu wasn't wrong after all. Two upfront is the key.

That and:

AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso spoke to media on Saturday, on the eve of the Serie A clash against Sampdoria: “We suffered in the last two games but we are not dead. I am not dead or weak. It hurts when we are defeated but I know I can still do a lot for this team and this club. You can’t be happy after games like the Betis one but I think the team can do much more than what they are doing now.”

Gattuso did also speak about Tiemoue Bakayoko who was harshly criticized by Italian media after the defeat against Betis: “On Thursday he recovered 4-5 balls even if he gave them back to the opponents. He is struggling but we must support him and try to understand his problems. Nobody played well against Betis apart from Cutrone and Castillejo at some point. The problem is that right now we are too flat in terms of mentality. We need to show our fans all our commitment.”

I'd seriously think about starting Castillejo in a 4-4-2, it should suit him.

Yes I agree. Cutrone, Castillejo, Higuan, Ibra in Jan +we have Borini/Tsadjout for absolute emergencies or go back to lone striker.

Not sure if 442 suits Paqueta though.

He was shit when he played for Italy. Why do you think it's worth playing him now when he's obviously not ready?

when he will ready? in two years? :rolleyes:

he's healthy and ready, the sooner you put him on the pitch, the better.

yeah and mussachio is fantastic, that's why we don't have clean sheet since april and that's why we are only club without clean sheet in top 5 league, even fucking benevento keep the net once. :rolleyes:

we didn't keep a clean sheet because we have a shitty captain who keeps making mistakes and defend like a pussy and an idiot greedy dollar as our goal keeper.

Shits on Musakio, but calls romagnoli "one of our best player". Do you even watch our games?

Also, great moment to introduce a new player into the squad... no pressure at all.

ofc that he's one of the best, do you watch our games? :o

i'm not saying he's perfect, he fuck'd up vs empoli but generally, he's one of out best players last few seasons.

it's not all on musachio but caldara is better player overall, i hope that he will get his start in league soon.

What on earth Jawad?! Our captain is amazing, you can’t say bad things about him, you certainly can’t be insulting him!

Clocks were wound back across Europe today, so this game might be an hour later in your country than you thought it was. For eg. 18:00 CET was 18:00 South Africa time for me till yesterday, but today it's 19:00. So check your local time.

Can we please bring in a top coach before it’s not too late and this season is entirely compromised too?

Gatusso won’t change shit, just not there yet in term of tactics, and seems to only have one play for mentality too, toughen it out, that doesn’t work for everyone. #needtopcoach
